Overview
Camunda is developed by Camunda Services GmbH, a company founded in Berlin in 2008 and registered at Zossener Straße 55-58 (Amtsgericht Charlottenburg HRB 113230 B). The open-source Camunda BPM project launched in March 2013. The platform orchestrates deterministic process steps, AI agents, and human tasks using the BPMN and DMN standards, with the Zeebe distributed engine providing durable execution. It connects third-party agents in a model-agnostic way via MCP and A2A and includes human task management. Self-managed use is free for local development and non-production, production self-managed deployments require an enterprise license, and the SaaS offering has a trial and a free modeling account. Camunda 8 is source-available rather than open source: the source of Zeebe, Operate, Tasklist, Identity, and Optimize is under the Camunda License v1, while the compiled software is proprietary and production self-managed use needs the Camunda Self-Managed Enterprise Edition; the connectors are Apache 2.0.
